Races ORB Goodwood - ENG

Finished 4L fourth in the Listed Pomfret Stakes over 1600m five days ago. Is unbeaten in two Goodwood appearances and drops back into handicap company. Unbeaten at this course and is a definite winning hope.

Disappointed when finishing 8L twentieth as favourite in the Class 2 Royal Hunt Cup on seasonal return. Rates highly notwithstanding.

Followed a 3L fourth in the Class 2 Royal Hunt Cup with a 2L third behind Indalo at Sandown. Meets that rival on better terms and is drawn favourably in stall 3. Not far off a win and is a definite winning hope.

Overcame interference to land a Class 2 Epsom handicap over 1700m by 1L before finishing 13L twenty-third in the Royal Hunt Cup. In the mix.

Improved from a below-par Royal Ascot appearance to finish 1.75L second over 1700m at Hamilton, despite meeting trouble. Returns to 1600m but stall 22 presents a difficult assignment. Might need one more.

Followed a 2.5L third in the Class 2 Royal Hunt Cup with a 0.5L victory over Ebt’s Guard in a Class 2 Sandown handicap over 1600m. Carries more weight but arrives in career-best form. Can go on with it with the confidence high.

Returns after 146 days having placed in four consecutive starts, most recently finishing 1.75L third over 1700m at Wolverhampton. Prepared to watch.

Defeated Indalo by a neck in a Class 2 Newbury handicap before finishing ninth in the Royal Hunt Cup and eighth at Sandown. Better than recent form suggests.

Finished a respectable 4L eighth in the Class 2 Royal Hunt Cup before trailing Indalo by 30L at Sandown. Earlier form offers greater encouragement but that latest performance is difficult to overlook. Not among the chances.

Returned from 68 days away with a 4L seventh in the Class 2 Royal Hunt Cup over 1600m. Should improve for that appearance and retains the tongue-tie, although stall 18 presents a challenge. Fitter and can break through.

Finished 1.25L fourth in the Class 2 Buckingham Palace Stakes over 1400m on his stable debut. Steps up 200m and should be fitter second-up, with James Doyle retained. Will come on from that run and is sure to measure up.

Has struggled in both appearances this term, including an 8L eighteenth in the Class 2 Royal Hunt Cup. Previous course-and-distance form is a positive. Prefer to see him find something before backing.

Has failed to reproduce his seasonal-return victory, finishing 6L tenth in the Class 2 Buckingham Palace Stakes over 1400m before a 6L sixth over 1600m at York. Major player.

Finished 5L seventh in the Class 2 Buckingham Palace Stakes before a 6L ninth behind Indalo over 1600m. Will need to do a bit more.

Made all to win a valuable 1900m Gowran contest by 3.25L before finishing 38L last in the G1 Irish Derby. Drops 800m making his handicap debut with Ryan Moore booked. Well-placed and is worth including.

Completed consecutive victories when landing a Class 2 Sandown handicap over 1600m by 0.5L. Remains lightly raced, is drawn in stall 1 and continues to progress. Finds a nice race and should be right there at the business end.

Finished 1.75L third in the Class 2 Victoria Cup before a 3.5L sixth behind Indalo over 1600m at Sandown. Course-and-distance winner receives weight from that rival and can finish closer. Can bounce back.

Finished 7L seventh over 1400m at Newmarket on his first appearance for Richard Spencer. Returns to 1600m but has been unplaced in four consecutive starts. Can't recommend off that run.

Is a course-and-distance winner but has been beaten 12L and 8L in two starts this term. Unlikely to threaten.

Won this race last year and has an excellent Goodwood record. Was short of room before weakening into a 6L fifth at Hamilton on latest appearance, but recent form remains below his best. Rates highly and is among the chances.

Is first reserve and requires one withdrawal. Has been well beaten in four consecutive starts, including a 13L twelfth over 1600m at York. Prepared to risk.

Is second reserve and requires two withdrawals. Finished 4.5L eighth over 1700m at Epsom before a 7L last at Ayr. Prepared to overlook.
